Current Narrative:
The State launched the Arkansas Work-Based Learning Program (WBLP) utilizing Governor's set-aside funding. This program was initially designed to meet the needs of Arkansas businesses, provide job opportunities and training to populations with barriers to employment, and to increase the diversity and quality of training methods in Arkansas. The State WBLP can be a potential option to assist as a layoff aversion strategy to maintain incumbent worker employment.
